Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a washing machine having at least one balancer, and more particularly to a washing machine having at least one balancer that increases durability by reinforcing strength and that is installed on a rotating tub in a convenient way.
- washing machines do the laundry by spinning a spin tub containing the laundry by driving the spin tub with a driving motor.
- the spin tub is spun forward and backward at a low speed.
- the spin tub is spun in one direction at a high speed.
- the spin tub When the spin tub is spun at a high speed in the dehydrating process, if the laundry leans to one side without uniform distribution in the spin tub or if the laundry leans to one side by an abrupt acceleration of the spin tub in the early stage of the dehydrating process, the spin tub undergoes a misalignment between the center of gravity and the center of rotation, which thus causes noise and vibration.
- the repetition of this phenomenon causes parts, such as a spin tub and its rotating shaft, a driving motor, etc., to break or to undergo a reduced life span.
- a drum type washing machine has a structure in which the spin tub containing laundry is horizontally disposed, and when the spin tub is spun at a high speed when the laundry is collected on the bottom of the spin tub by gravity in the dehydrating process, the spin tub undergoes a misalignment between the center of gravity and the center of rotation, thus resulting in a high possibility of causing excess noise and vibration.
- the drum type washing machine is typically provided with at least one balancer for maintaining a dynamic balance of the spin tub.
- a balancer may also be applied to an upright type washing machine in which the spin tub is vertically installed.
- the ball balancers of a conventional washing machine include racers installed on the top and the bottom of a spin tub in order to maintain a dynamic balance when the spin tub is spun at a high speed, and steel balls and viscous oil are disposed within the racers to freely move in the racers.
- the steel balls compensate for this imbalance, and thus the spin tub can maintain the dynamic balance.
- the ball balancers of the conventional washing machine have a structure in which upper and lower plates formed of plastic by injection molding are fused to each other, and a plurality of steel balls are disposed between the fused plates to make a circular motion, so that the ball balancers are continuously supplied with centrifugal force that is generated when the steel balls make a circular motion, and thus are deformed at walls thereof, which reduces the life span of the balancer.
- the ball balancers of the conventional washing machine do not have a means for guiding the ball balancers to be installed on the spin tub in place, so that it takes time to assemble the balancers to the spin tub.
- the ball balancers of the conventional washing machine have a structure in which a racer includes upper and lower plates fused to each other, so that fusion scraps generated during fusion fall down both inwardly and outwardly of the racer.
- the fusion scraps that fall down inwardly of the racer prevent motion of the balls in the racer, and simultaneously result in generating vibration and noise.
- Reference JP 58 130092A discloses a spinning tub of a washing machine, wherein a ball balancer is mounted on an upper edge of the spinning tub by screwing an extending support from the ball balancer onto the mounted edge. Problems might occur during rotation, as such mounting structure allows the deformation of walls of the ball balancer.
- Reference US 6,550,292 B1 relates to a vertically disposed rotating tub of a washing machine, wherein a ball balancer is attached on an upper edge of the rotating tub.
- EP 0 810 389 refers to a balancing device that can be mounted onto a vertical spin tub of a vertical spin tub washing machine.
- US 4 044 627 A refers to a balancing device for a vertical spin tub washing machine.
- the balancing device comprises a first housing and a second housing that are connected.
- US 2 984 094 A refers to a horizontally rotatable spin tub washing machine with a balancing device comprising a chamber for receiving a plurality of balls.
- the balancing device is integrally formed with the spin tub, or alternatively formed by a dish base that is mounted onto sides of the horizontally disposed spin tub.
- US 6,119,547 A discloses a balancing device that is connected to supporting plates of a washing machine drum.
- KR 2003/0010102 A discloses a vertically oriented washing machine drum having balancing means provided on top of the drum.
- the balancing means comprise a circular holding section for burr material.
- US 5,850,748 A discloses a balancing device that is screwed onto a side panel of a horizontally oriented washing machine drum.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine having at least one balancer that increases durability by reinforcing the strength of the balancer, which is installed on a rotating tub in a rapid and convenient way.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine having at least one balancer, in which fusion scraps generated by fusion of the balancer are prevented from falling down inward and outward of the balancer.
- a drum washing machine having a spin tub to hold laundry to be washed and a ball balancer according to independent claim 1.
- Improved embodiments of the invention are the subject-matter of the dependent claims.
- a front member may be attached to a front end of the spin tub and a rear member may be attached to a rear end of the spin tub.
- the recesses may be provided at the front and rear members of the spin tub, and the balancers may be coupled to opposite ends of the spin tub at the recesses of the front and rear members.
- first housing may further include inner pocket ridges protruding from the first housing and spaced inwardly apart with respect to the fusion ridges of the first housing.
- the second housing may include guide ridges protruding from the second housing and protruding toward the first housing to closely contact the inner pocket ridges of the first housing when the first and second housings are fused together.
- FIG. 1 is a sectional view illustrating the schematic structure of a washing machine according to the present invention.
- a washing machine includes a housing 1 forming an external structure of the washing machine, a water reservoir 2 installed in the housing 1 and containing washing water, a spin tub 10 disposed rotatably in the water reservoir 2 which allows laundry to be placed in and washed therein, and a door 4 hinged to an open front of the housing 1.
- the water reservoir 2 has a feed pipe 5 and a detergent feeder 6 both disposed above the water reservoir 2 in order to supply washing water and detergent to the water reservoir 2, and a drain pipe 7 installed therebelow in order to drain the washing water contained in the water reservoir 2 to the outside of the housing 1 when the laundry is completely done.
- the spin tub 10 has a rotating shaft 8 disposed at the rear thereof so as to extend through the rear of the water reservoir 2, and a driving motor 9, with which the rotating shaft 8 is coupled, installed on a rear outer side thereof. Therefore, when the driving motor 9 is driven, the rotating shaft 8 is rotated together with the spin tub 10.
- the spin tub 10 is provided with a plurality of dehydrating holes 10a at a periphery thereof so as to allow the water contained in the water reservoir 2 to flow into the spin tub 10 together with the detergent to wash the laundry in a washing cycle, and to allow the water to be drained to the outside of the housing 1 through a drain pipe 7 in a dehydrating cycle.
- the spin tub 10 has a plurality of lifters 10b disposed longitudinally therein. Thereby, as the spin tub 10 rotates at a low speed in the washing cycle, the laundry submerged in the water is raised up from the bottom of the spin tub 10 and then is lowered to the bottom of the spin tub 10, so that the laundry can be effectively washed.
- the rotating shaft 8 alternately rotates forward and backward by of the driving of the driving motor 9 to spin the spin tub 10 at a low speed, so that the laundry is washed.
- the rotating shaft 8 rotates in one direction to spin the spin tub 10 at a high speed, so that the laundry is dehydrated.
- the spin tub 10 When spun at a high speed in the dehydrating process, the spin tub 10 itself may undergo misalignment between the center of gravity and the center of rotation, or the laundry may lean to one side without uniform distribution in the spin tub 10. In this case, the spin tub 10 does not maintain a dynamic balance.
- the spin tub 10 is provided with balancers 20 or 30 according to a first or a second embodiment (wherein only the balancer 20 according to a first embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1-4 ) at front and rear ends thereof.
- the structure of the balancers 20 and 30 according to the first and second embodiments will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 through 6 .
- FIG 2 is a perspective view illustrating balancers, in which the balancers are disassembled from a spin tub.
- the spin tub 10 includes a cylindrical body 11 that has open front and rear parts and is provided with the dehydrating holes 10a and lifters 10b, a front member 12 that is coupled to the open front part of the body 11 and is provided with an opening 14 permitting the laundry to be placed within or removed from the body 11, and a rear member 13 that is coupled to the open rear part of the body 11 and with the rotating shaft 8 (see FIG. 1 ) for spinning the spin tub 10.
- the front member 12 is provided, at an edge thereof, with an annular recess 15 that has the cross section of an approximately "C" shape and is open to the front of the front member 12 in order to hold any one of the balancers 20.
- the rear member 13 is provided, at an edge thereof, with an annular recess 15 (not shown) that is open to the rear of the front member 12 in order to hold the other of the balancers 20.
- the front and rear members 12 and 13 are fitted into and coupled to the front or rear edges of the body 11 in a screwed fashion or in any other fashion that allows the front and rear members 12 and 13 to be maintained to the body 11 of the spin tub 10.
- FIG 3 is a perspective view illustrating a balancer according to a first embodiment
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged view illustrating part A of FIG. 1 in order to show the sectional structure of a balancer according to a first embodiment.
- a balancer 20 according to a first embodiment has an annular shape and includes first and second housings 22 and 23 that are fused to define a closed internal space 20a.
- the first housing 22 has first and second walls 22a and 22b facing each other, and a third wall 22c connecting ends of the first and second walls 22a and 22b, and thus has a cross section of an approximately "C" shape.
- the second housing 23 has opposite edges that protrude toward the first housing 22 and that are coupled to corresponding opposite ends 22d of the first housing 22 by heat fusion.
- the opposite ends 22d of the first housing 22 protrude outward from the first and second walls 22a and 22b of the first housing 22, and the edges of the second housing 23 are sized to cover the ends 22d of the first housing 22.
- the first and second walls 22a and 22b are spaced apart from a wall of the recess 15 because of the ends and edges of the first and second housings 22 and 23 which protrude outward from the first and second walls 22a and 22b. Further, because the first and second walls 22a and 22b are relatively thin, the first and second walls 22a and 22b are raised outward when centrifugal force is applied thereto by the plurality of balls 21 that move in the internal space 20a of the balancer 20 in order to perform the balancing function.
- the plurality of balls 21 make a circular motion in the balancer 20, so that the first and second walls 22a and 22b are deformed by the centrifugal force applied to the first and second walls 22a and 22b of the first housing 22.
- the second housing 22 is provided with supports 24 according to a first embodiment.
- the supports 24 protrude from and perpendicular to the first and second walls 22a and 22b of the first housing 22 which are opposite each other, and may be continued along an outer surface of the first housing 22, thereby having an overall annular shape.
- the supports 24 have a length such that they extend from the first housing 22 to contact the wall of the recess 15. Hence, the first and second walls 22a and 22b are further increased in strength, and additionally function to guide the balancer 20 so as to be maintained in the recess 15 in place.
- the centrifugal force acts in the direction moving away from the center of rotation of the spin tub 10.
- the centrifugal force acts on the first wall 22a to a stronger level when viewed in FIG. 4 .
- the supports 24 may be formed only on the first wall 22a.
- the balancer 20 when the first and second housings 22 and 23 are fused together and fitted into the recess 15 of the spin tub 10, the supports 24 are maintained in place while positioned along the wall of the recess 15. Finally, the balancer 20 is coupled and fixed to the front member 12 of the spin tub 10 by screws (not shown) or in any other fashion that allows the balancer 20 to be coupled to the front member 12.
- balancer 20 is similarly installed on the rear member 13 of the spin tub 10.
- the ends 22d of the first housing 22 include fusion ridges 42a that protrude toward the second housing 23.
- the fusion ridges 42a are inserted within fusion grooves 43a of the second housing 23.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 correspond to FIGS. 3 and 4 , and illustrate a balancer 30 according to a second embodiment.
- the balancer 30 according to the second embodiment has an annular shape and includes first and second housings 32 and 33 that are fused together forming an internal space 30a therebetween in which a plurality of balls 31 are disposed.
- the balancer 30 according to the second embodiment is similar to that of balancer 20 according to the first embodiment, except the structure of supports 34 of balancer 30 is different from that of the structure of the supports 24 of balancer 20.
- the supports 34 according to the second embodiment protrude parallel to first and second walls 32a and 32b of a first housing 32 which are opposite each other, and the supports 34 are disposed at regular intervals along the first and second walls 32a and 32b.
- the first housing 32 further includes a third wall 32c. Ends 22d of the first housing 32 extend from an end of the first and second walls 32a and 32b.
- the supports 34 of the second embodiment have a length such that the supports 34 extend from the first housing 32 to contact the wall of the recess 15. The surfaces of the supports 34 thereby abut portions of the front member 12.
- the first and second walls 32a and 32b are further increased in strength, and additionally function to guide the balancer 30 so as to be maintained in the recess 15 in place.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 are perspective views illustrating disassembled and assembled balancers according to the third embodiment
- FIG. 9 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 7
- FIG. 10 is a sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 8 .
- a balancer 40 includes a first housing 42 having an annular shape and a second housing 43 having an annular shape that is fused to the first housing 42, thereby forming an annular housing corresponding to the recess 15 (see FIG. 2 ) of the spin tub 10.
- the first and second housings 42 and 43 may be, for example, formed of synthetic resin, such as plastic by injection molding.
- the first housing 42 has a cross section of an approximately "C" shape, includes fusion ridges 42a protruding to the second housing 43 at opposite ends thereof which are coupled with the second housing 43, and inner pocket ridges 42b protruding to the second housing 43 spaced inwardly apart from the fusion ridges 42a.
- the second housing 43 which is coupled to opposite ends of the first housing 42 in order to form a closed internal space 40a for holding a plurality of balls 41 and a viscous fluid, includes fusion grooves 43a recessed along edges thereof so as to correspond to the fusion ridges 42a, outer pocket flanges 43b and guide ridges 43c.
- the outer pocket flanges protrude to the first housing 42 on outer sides of the fusion grooves 43a so as to be spaced apart from the fusion ridges 42a of the first housing 42 by a predetermined distance.
- the guide ridges 43c protrude to the first housing 42 on inner sides of the fusion grooves 43a and closely contact the inner pocket ridges 42b of the first housing 42.
- the guide ridges 43c of the second housing 43 move in contact with the inner pocket ridges 42b of the first housing 42 when the second housing 43 is fitted into the first housing 42, to thereby guide the fusion ridges 42a of the first housing 42 to be fitted into the fusion grooves 43a of the second housing 43 rapidly and precisely.
- an inner pocket 40b having a predetermined spacing is formed between the fusion ridges 42a and inner pocket ridges 42b
- an outer pocket 40c having a predetermined spacing is formed between the fusion ridges 42a and the outer pocket flanges 43b.
- the washing machine has a high-strength structure in which at least one balancer is provided with at least one support protruding outward from the wall thereof, so that, although the strong centrifugal force acts on the wall of the balancer due to a plurality of balls making a circular motion in the balancer, the wall of the balancer is not deformed.
- the plurality of balls can make a smooth circular motion without causing excess vibration and noise, and thus increasing the durability and life span of the balancer.
- the washing machine has a structure in which the balancer can be rapidly and exactly positioned in the recess of the spin tub by the supports, so that an assembly time of the balance can be reduced.
- the washing machine has a structure in which fusion scraps generated when the balancer is fused are collected in a plurality of pockets, and thus are prevented from falling down inward and outward of the balancer, so that the internal space of the balancer, in which a plurality of balls are filled and move in a circular motion, has a smooth surface without the addition of fusion scraps.
- the balancer may have a clear outer surface to provide a fine appearance without the fusion scraps, so that it can be exactly coupled to the spin tub without obstruction caused by the fusion scraps.
